About the Game

The Tzerzurians have returned to Zura after they had been locked behind magic seals for millennia. Over time they had turned into myths, then into Whispers of a long lost past, but are now back to this world. Nobody, including the Tzerzurians, recalls their place in the world anymore though.

"A Way Back Home" is a tactical push your luck game with a bag building mechanism that can be played on multiple boards. The base game includes one double sided board per player with more to come over the next few years. Each board not only expands on the story, they also each have a unique twist in how the game plays and may add new components to interact with.

The core game play remains the same across each board: players try to link light sources for different purposes across up to six different paths while managing penalties, the contents of their own bag, as well as the contents of the general pool.

The game includes:

120 crystals in 6 different colors 4 double sided player boards 4 drawstring bags 6 character cards for board "B"
